How it works

From "anyone want to play?" to playing, in three steps

No group chats to herd, no endless back-and-forth. Just people nearby who want to do the same thing you do.

1

Find or post an event

Browse what's happening near you, or post your own in about ten seconds: the activity, the place, the time, and how many more people you need.

2

Ask to join, and get approved

Tap "I'm in" to request a spot. Hosts see who's asking (their reviews and badges) and approve the people they want to play with.

3

Meet up and play

Chat to sort out the details. Leisure Local reminds you before it starts, then you just show up and play. Rate the experience afterward.

Features

Everything you need to get out and play

Events near you

Hosts approve every request, so your game is filled with people you're happy to play with.

Built-in chat

Message hosts and players directly to work out the details, all without handing out your number.

Never miss a start

Chat

Work out the details, right in the app

Every event has a direct line to the host. Ask about skill level, parking, or who's bringing the cooler.

  • Message any player without sharing your phone number
  • Get a notification the moment someone replies
  • If a host has to cancel, you'll hear about it straight away

Questions

Good to know

When is Leisure Local coming out?

Very soon. We're putting the finishing touches on it now. Join the early-access list and you'll be the first to know when it's ready on iPhone and Android.

Where can I use it?

Anywhere. You'll see events posted within the radius you choose. We're starting in North Carolina's High Country and foothills, and every new player helps it grow in their own area, so tell your friends.

Do I have to be good at sports?

Not at all. Hosts list the skill level they're looking for, from "All levels" to experienced, so you can find events that fit you.

Is my information safe?

Yes. Your email and phone number are never shown to other players, location is only used when you ask (and only approximately), and you can delete your account at any time. Read the Privacy Policy for the details.

I run a club, course or rec center. Can we get involved?

We'd love that. Email support@leisurelocal.app and let's talk.
